John P. Mesa

In 1983 John Mesa started working at the visual effects company, Introvision International as a model maker & motion control cameraman. Through the 80s and early 90s John worked his way up the ladder to become the in-house Director of Photography, covering model and stage shoots. During this time period he worked on 15 features, 4 TV movies and about 8 commercials. Starting in early 1995 John took leave from Introvision to become Visual Effects Supervisor on "DNA" for Flash Film Works. This gave John the chance to work with William Mesa for the first time in 3 years and for the first time as a Director (William Mesa) & FX Supervisor (John Mesa) Team. John has continued to do other work for Flash Film Works over the last couple of years, including the feature films The Waterboy (1998) and Renny Harlin's Deep Blue Sea (1999). He is also about to begin work on his first feature as a director, a science fiction film called "Colony 12."
